Apple started the trend, and the Samsung Galaxy S21 range was the first line of Android phones to ship without a charger. OPPO plans to follow this trend. The company plans to ship some phones without this accessory starting next year.
No charger in the box
Samsung says it does this for ecological reasons. This makes the packaging a lot smaller, which in turn saves on transport. OPPO also plans to do this. Billy Zhang, OPPO Vice President of Overseas Sales and Services, made the announcement at a launch event where Androidworld was present. “OPPO is seriously thinking about removing the chargers from the boxes and selling them in stores,” Zhang said, but did not disclose the phones involved.
The OPPO Find X5 Pro comes with a special 80W SuperVOOC charger, with which you have half charged the device in 12 minutes. To omit this charger is a significant step for OPPO. This phone will not achieve the promised fast charging time with other chargers. OPPO therefore wants to offer them for sale in stores so that consumers can go there.
USB-C as standard
Android smartphones are also ready to omit the charger. In recent years, Android manufacturers have had to ensure that their chargers work with the USB-PD standard. In June of this year, the EU reached an agreement on this: USB-C will become the standard.
Techniques for fast charging for certain devices should be ‘️harmonised’, according to the European Parliament, so that users can charge their devices at the same speed with any compatible charger. This can be done via the USB Power Delivery protocol that Google has already made mandatory for new phones in 2019. In this way, third-party chargers with the USB-PD standard can work properly on phones that use their own fast charging technology.
